Not so true after those outers surged in. Could our gov stop promoting our country, think about the locals, at least control these foreigners in a certain area and don't let them run around
The food is definitely delicious! Can’t wait to visit again

I only watch it for a minute,CNN and BBC Say this often.:Chinese people like to eat cat and dog meat.Also eat wild animals,Because of the floods, the Communist Party was incompetent, the streets were full of homeless people, and there were many scammers in tourist areas.
I am a first generation Canadian living in Ontario, originally from Myanmar. Great video and glad to see a Canadian doing well and enjoying life in China. Looking forward to seeing more videos.. bravo brother

Marijuana has been legalized in Canada, and teenagers can buy marijuana. This is terrible. Young people without self-control are prone to committing crimes for the sake of drugs. Therefore, smoking is not a very objectionable behavior in China, as long as you do not smoke in public places.

I am a Chinese living in Vancouver Canada for 44 years from rural Guangzhou near the Baiyun International Airport. Yes, it is a good life. Love to go back and visit my relatives in cooler seasons. The summer there is too hot to bear which I don't like. The disadvantage of living in China is there is no old age pension for non perfessional occupations like if you live in western countries.
